What can I put on my Shimano 105 derailleur. All that the pulleys say is 'shimano' and 'narrow'. I would like to put on something with bearings.

Yeah, especiallly since he already has perfectly good bearings.

I know, I know, the OP wants ball bearings for some reason. :D

Campy Record derailleurs use bushings, not bearings. There is nothing wrong with a properly designed bushing. Your desire for bearings is misplaced.

If this is a 7-8 speed derailleur, the top 10t guide pulley must float for the derailleur to work properly. You must specify narrow pulley, because wide pulleys will not fit. It is a bushing. The bottom pulley can be cartrige bearings, avail from Performance.
